Rapper Rick Ross reportedly suffered a second medical emergency on a plane Friday while traveling to Memphis to perform at a college basketball kickoff.

The Miami-based artist's private jet to Tennessee was forced to land in Birmingham, Ala., when he suffered a seizure, NBC station WTVJ of Miami reported. It was the second time in six hours a plane carrying the performer diverted due to concerns over his health.

The first incident happened on board a flight from Fort Lauderdale to Memphis, prompting the pilot to return to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.

Hours later, Ross tweeted "Memphis here I come", and posted a video of himself in apparent okay health on board a private jet, promoting his upcoming album and an appearance at a Wing Stop restaurant.

"There was a private plane that was routed here for medical purposes," a representative of Birmingham-Shuttlesworth Airport confirmed to E! Online.

Rapper Yo Gotti, who was to perform with Ross, went on in his place at Memphis Madness at FedExForum, said the University of Memphis, which was holding its 2011-12 basketball season kickoff.

Memphis coach Josh Pastner told the crowd on Friday evening that a private jet carrying Ross made an unscheduled landing in Birmingham after the singer had another medical problem.

"On his way to Memphis," Pastner said, "he had to make another emergency landing, in Birmingham. He got really sick again, and they had to rush him to the emergency room."

The rapper's health first made news Friday morning when Delta Airlines flight 1310 reported a medical emergency shortly after its 12:21 p.m. takeoff and returned to the airport, confirmed Broward County Aviation spokesman Greg Meyer.

Broward Fire Rescue officials said an adult male was treated with "advanced life-support care," on scene and was transported to Broward General Medical center.
